Russell Hobbs Steam Iron [3100W, 210 g/min extra steam boost, 70 g/min steam] Power Steam (350ml, ceramic soleplate, self-cleaning & spray water function, anti-limescale, drip stop) 20630

Verdict – What works well and what doesn’t
I’m writing this review after using the iron a few times.. I find it’s best to capture first impressions with items like this as I tend to get used to odd quirks and start to work around themWhat works well# IRONING CAPABILITY – Seems very good – hot temp works well, glides well, notch for use around buttons is useful – initial finish on clothes is good.# WEIGHT – The iron is towards the heavy end of what’s available – I like this! – It sounds as if the weight might require more effort to use, but I actually find having to apply more downward pressure using a light iron harder work than sliding a heavier one from side to side.# SPEED TO HEAT – the 3100W makes a difference – it’s right up to top temp in a matter of seconds – this works well for me as the thing I iron most of are cotton shirts .. I actually iron very little on a low setting.# STEAM – This feature works well – but it’s not a big one for me. As mentioned on the box when it arrives the iron will have a little water residue in it where the steam / spray function has been tested. I actually prefer to use a separate water spray bottle as in the past I’ve found water reservoirs eventually get a bit grubby and will occasionally leave a spot on a shirt (always at the end when you’ve ironed the whole thing!) I prefer to keep the iron clean and dry and apply water as I go using a simple garden spray bottle.What could be better# HANDLE – While this is ok I did find the steam buttons at the front of the handle got in the way a little – not to the point where it was a real problem, but it just made the handle a little less comfortable than it could have been# COILING CABLE – This is a little annoying – there is nowhere to coil the cable around the iron after use – having said that I often leave mine out in a spare room.. but not great if you need the space and want to keep it out the way – also think irons left out are extremely dangerous re small kids or pets .. so ability to coil the cable would be useful.OVERALLI like it so far – it feels substantial heats up quickly and irons well.

Russell Hobbs iron
At the offer price of £30, this iron is great value. Well made and solid build quality. Longish cable and sensible size water beaker for filling. Time will tell how durable it will be but first impressions are very positive. Recommended, especially at this offer price.

OK Iron with backwards design choices
Couple of glaring issues with this, What is one dot of heat good for? 2 dots? 3 dots? Every other Iron I have ever used has that info on the dial, this iron has a BIG dial with ZERO information on, that information is in the manual which pee’d me right off. Then we have the cable management, it seems to have been actively designed to stop you wrapping the cable around it to be stored away, why? The iron itself is ok quality, works well but the cable and heat labelling issues don’t make it the easiest to use, I suspect that eventually the plug will break due to repeatedly dropping to the floor while I’m trying to store it away. This iron came with remnants of water in the tank like all Irons should, it’s a 3000w device I would expect it to have been tested before sale, that is standard practice not a sign of a second hand product!!!!

Love it. Great iron. Makes ironing easy !
Love it. Great iron ! Wish I bought it years ago. I fly through my ironing now.

Had het strijkijzer hard nodig masr kwam aan in een beschadigde verpakking. Duidelijk eerder uitgepakt geweest. Geen gebruiksaanwijzing enngeen eurostekker. Zelf een tussenstekker gebruikt. Apparaat werkt wel verder geen mankementen. Dus masr zi gelaten. Ik vermoed datbik een eerder geretourneerd apparaat bhekregennheb. Dat had ik niet gekocht.

Not a Rowenta iron, nor a Rowenta price,But Good all round performance, quality and value. Recommended
